unreasoned

Mark and Dahlia discuss this news, and also how lower court judges are calling out SCOTUS’ unreasoned, incoherent opinions and how some of the Justices are trying to control, alt, delete all the backbiting.

On Wednesday, he refused, writing that the court’s “unreasoned stay order issued on its emergency docket does not make or signal any change in controlling law.”

The Supreme Court’s majority chose the opaque system of an unsigned, unargued, unbriefed and unreasoned order to issue a body-blow to the rule of law, undermining lower court rulings and Congressional statutes, specifically the Convention Against Torture.

But the Supreme Court ignored these pleas: The justices refused to stay his execution in a brief unsigned and unreasoned order Tuesday, with all three liberals dissenting.
